Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

In a highly concentrated salt solution, concentration of water is comparatively lower than the fluid inside red blood cells. This develops a concentration gradient.

Due to this difference in concentration, the water starts flowing out of the red blood cells across its permeable layer. Due to this movement of water, red blood cell shrinks. This physical phenomenon in which a substance move from a region of high concentration to a region with lower concentration across any permeable membrane is called Osmosis.

This process is called osmosis whereby water exits the cell through its selectively permeable membrane and into the salt solution to dilute and balance the pressure caused by the concentrated salt solution.

vova2212 [387]

Answer : A metal in group 16 of the periodic table can become a chemically stable ion by gaining 2 electrons.

Explanation :

The group 16 element are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium.

The general electronic configuration of group 16 elements is, ns^2np^4

As we now that there are total 6 electrons in p sub-shell. So, a metal in group 16 can become a chemically stable ion by gaining 2 electrons.

M+2e^-\rightarrow M^{-2}

Hence, a metal in group 16 of the periodic table can become a chemically stable ion by gaining 2 electrons.

Deserts typically have average daytime temperatures of around 100°F, while the average daytime temperature in tropical rain fore
Lelechka [254]

Answer: The temperature of the rainforest does not experience a drastic fall as in the case of the desert.

Explanation:

In the desert the average daytime temperature remains 100°F and that of the rainforest is 85°F. But average monthly temperatures are lower in the case of desert as compared to the rainforest although the vegetation cover is higher in rainforest as compared to desert so humidity is also more. During night in desert temperature drops to an average of 25°F whereas in rainforest during night temperature level does not drop much it drops to only 71°F. Therefore, the average monthly temperature on desert is lower than rainforest.

When two homozygous plants with contrasting traits are crossed, what are the exoected genotypes for the offspring?
leonid [27]

If two homozygous plants with contrasting traits are crossed, the expected genotypes for the offspring will be heterozygous. The dominant trait would be expressed, but they'd be carriers for the recessive trait.
